Well, there was obviously a falling out in the family, was there not, after that, and for some years Carol and Gordon Park being estranged from the Price side of the family. Gordon Park said that Carol would not have anything to do with her brother Ivor after this episode. It was in this period that the young Park couple had their other two children, Jeremy born on the 30th of March 1970, and Rachel born in May of 1971. However, in 1974, there was a reconciliation apparently. It appears to have come from Gordon and Carol's side. Mr. Ivor Price told us that Gordon Park came to invite them for a meal. Mrs. Price said she thought it was Carol who came to invite them, and after that she said life resumed as normal.
Well, let me just turn to the background of Mr. Park's interest in sailing. It seems he was interested in sailing from a relatively early age, and I think he put it that he started when he was about 14, when his father bought a dinghy. Ivor Price told you that he was aware of Gordon Park sailing in dinghies, and he said he had seen dinghies from time to time at Bluestones and he had seen a dinghy and trailer there before Carol had disappeared. He agreed, however, Mr. Price did with Mr. Edis's suggestion that it was unlikely that he had spent time at Bluestones while Carol was separated from Gordon Park in the months up to August 1975, but he was insistent he saw a boat and trailer with a board for the trailer lights at Bluestones between August 1975 and Carol's disappearance. He said he had been sailing once with Mr. Park himself. That was after Carol's disappearance in about 1977 on Windermere. He was unable to say specifically whether he had been to Bluestones in the Summer of 1976.
